On this episode of Quivercast, we sit down with Oceanside local and lifelong surfer Greg Abad @gregoabad to talk about the past, present, and future of surfing in Oceanside. Greg takes us back to a different era—when empty lots lined the beach, nobody was fighting for parking, and the lineup felt like a tight-knit crew where everyone knew your name. Respect wasn’t given, it was earned, and your reputation came from how you carried yourself in and out of the water. It’s a raw, honest look at a version of Oceanside that newer surfers can barely imagine.
We also get into what’s changed: packed peaks, surfers going right on lefts, high-rise hotels shaping the skyline, and the ongoing sand issues along the coast. It’s easy to get nostalgic—or even frustrated—but Greg keeps it grounded. Just like he’s evolved over the years, he believes the surf culture here will too. With a strong next generation coming up, there’s hope that the heart of Oceanside surfing isn’t disappearing… it’s just shifting.
